Amazing news from our friends at Food & Water Watch: Yesterday, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a ban on fracking in New York State. This victory could not have happened without the amazing work of thousands of dedicated anti-fracking activists all over the country, including hundreds of MoveOn members.

As Sarah Alexander of Food & Water Watch said: This victory is because of the years of education, mobilization and advocacy work to build the political power for holding Governor Cuomo accountable to the people, not the oil and gas industry. New Yorkers Against Fracking, a coalition founded by Food & Water Watch–and the strong network of allies and grassroots activists are directly responsible for this victory.

In June of 2013, the New York Legislature passed a bill that would allow local governments to enact stronger regulations for pet dealers, effectively cracking down on “puppy mills,” breeding facilities that prize profits over animal welfare. Allie Feldman of the organization NYCLASS started a MoveOn Petition asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to sign the bill into law. The petition gathered almost 9,000 signatures, and on January 10, Gov. Cuomo signed the legislation, helping to prevent the abuse and neglect of dogs in breeding facilities all over the state.
